This course is a comprehensive culinary journey. Cooking knowledge and skills are developed by the wide range of recipes created and the catering opportunities offered. Manaakitanga is continually modelled and is the backbone of this course. Visits to industry sites are essential to expand students knowledge and to experience real-life working environments.

Content/Skills include nutrition in commercial kitchens, understanding and mastering pickles/chutney and preserves and then integrating them into nutritious meal prep ideas for catering. Complex sandwiches allows us to enjoy using the preserved food items in delicious creative sandwiches and culinary product knowledge allows us to create meal options to suit all our customer needs.  We dive into areas such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten free to allow for menu planning and use AI to make it all look stunning from a marketing point.  Budgets are discussed and time management is fine tuned.

It is expected that you are will be available for catering opportunities that are outside of school hours - Student Achievement days, Speech competitions, Colab dinner, charity events etc. This is a huge component of this course and one where you will gain a great deal of experience in the Hospitality sector.
